What Our Guests Say About DXB Desert Safaris
Real feedback from international tourists and UAE residents who explored the Al Lahbab Red Dunes with us:
"DXB Desert Safaris made our first trip to Dubai truly magical! Our driver was amazing at dune bashing across the red dunes—safe yet thrilling. The camp was spotless, the live BBQ had succulent meats and fresh salads, and the fire show was spectacular. 10/10!"
"Traveled with our 3-year-old daughter and elderly parents. Booking on WhatsApp took under two minutes with zero upfront deposit. Direct camp transfer was smooth, and the vegetarian buffet had hot paneer, dal, and fresh naan. Exceptional hospitality!"
"Don’t book cheap roadside tours—DXB Desert Safaris is the real deal! The Al Lahbab red dunes are massive compared to flat sands. 30 minutes on the quad bike was pure adrenaline. Hotel pickup from Dubai Marina was right on time."
"Hosted corporate colleagues from Germany and booked the VIP Majlis package. Everything was 5-star: pristine Land Cruisers, table-side waiter service, delicious live chef grills, and zero pushy upsells. Proud to recommend them."

What to Wear For Desert Safari Dubai
Planning what to wear for your Dubai desert safari ensures maximum comfort across all activities — from high-octane 4x4 red dune bashing and sandboarding to quad biking and relaxing at our 5-star desert camp. While Dubai welcomes modern casual attire, the desert climate features warm, sunny afternoons and refreshingly cool starlit evenings with fine crimson sand. Follow our essential guide to stay comfortable, protected, and photo-ready throughout your Arabian adventure.
Light & Breathable Fabrics
Choose loose cotton, linen, or moisture-wicking shirts and trousers. Light colors reflect the sun and look fantastic against the crimson sand dunes.
Closed-Toe Shoes or Sports Sandals
Wear sneakers or strapped sports footwear for dune climbing, sandboarding, and ATV rides. Avoid flip-flops and high heels that sink into hot sand.
Light Jacket or Shawl for Evenings
Desert temperatures drop significantly after sunset, especially from October to April. Bring a light layer, jacket, or pashmina for comfortable outdoor dining and shows.
UV Sunglasses, Sunscreen & Desert Scarf
Protect against desert sun glare and blowing sand with UV sunglasses, high-SPF sunscreen, and a traditional Arabian Shemagh headscarf.
